Yep, that's what I use. It's simply called "Microsoft GIF Animator". It's probably not the best though, and I have a few minor problems with it from time to time. But it's still good enough.

Haha... Being an asshole as well, I'll join.
I agree with that, although I don't have anything against the author, I simply don't know him. So this is not a personal attack...
But the fact that transparent Mario thread got stickied got me thinking like "Okay, now I don't care anymore whether our Epic Racers thread gets stickied...". I thought that was something reserved for special hacks, heh. I guess we all have different standards, but still... I wonder about some of the mods here.

"Originality" must not be a cheap excuse to make hacks that require no real effort.

I highly doubt that's humanly possible, and I can't see what would be the use either...

As far as I'm concerned, don't get it wrong... You're not a "leader" or anything, I just happened to agree with you, that's it. I just couldn't be bothered making a new thread for something like that, or even reply to the Mario transparent thread... Else I'd have to do it with most threads here, no offense... But I have better things to do than post negative comments everywhere, so I just keep them for myself.
I also thought I'd show you my support because I expected you to get flamed, so don't get cocky now...

Hey hey, now... I think everyone understood what some of us thought about that kind of hacks, we got the point, so let's leave it at that.

Raccoon ear shouldn't be placed like this when Mario looks up... But you may not have the possibility to move it around, as the raccoon sprite is most likely independant from Mario's.

At least Blackhole89 explained that. Lastly if you have bad comments about it, I don't want to hear them!

Keep cool... Don't take it so personally.
As for blackhole89, I'm not sure he would vouch for that. Quoting what he said in that other thread: "Just tell me... who the hell stickied that crap? "

And in my opinion, you should lend an ear to "bad comments"... They're more useful that positive ones, and are more likely to make you improve. Unless they're just mindless flaming, but they aren't all like that.

Take all of this with a grain of salt, I guess your hack got somehow taken as an "example", if you know what I mean. One day you get nothing but praises, the following day you get nothing but critics... Things are even, no ?
And I don't think people really have anything about you or your hack, but more about the fact you got that much attention (+ sticky) for such a hack.

I think you should just accept that that's the way how it works. Do ever the best games really win the award for "best game of the year"? In ROM hacking it's no difference.
So, when things are bad, we should not try to point out that they are bad, let alone try to make them not bad?

That rather ties into the whole point Disch was making to begin with, on how we "need" to be nice to newbies and never criticise them.

If you're so complacent as to simply accept it when things are bad, how exactly do you expect things to get not bad? Also, bear in mind that just because you accept it doesn't mean everyone does.

Impala was simply giving his view on the matter. As you can tell, he's satisfied with the situation and doesn't feel the need to try and make things better... Or maybe he just think it's a hopeless cause, and would rather spend time on something else than arguing over this, who knows.

That said, I kinda understand you... I think this "little" community shouldn't be like those video game magazines or TV shows that suck, promote shitty games (because the company making those give them money for that), etc... (Note : This is NOT an indirect attack to Shane 26)
We are people who truly like video games, we aren't there for the money... So we should be closer to reality than those lame magazines and TV shows I mentioned (although there are exceptions everywhere, I mean I'm aware some of them are actually good).

Personally, I'm not "envious" of Shane because of the attention and responses he got with his Super Mario Transparent hack or anything like that, especially since we got more than enough attention too. I've really got no negative feelings toward him. He shouldn't have been bashed or flamed for what he did... He did nothing wrong really. Everyone doesn't have the same goals, as much time to spend on a hack, or the same ambitions... So he does stuff he likes, and that's it. The drama surrounding his hacks is another thing though.
However, I guess he probably made that mono Mario hack because of how well his transparent hack was received... And not because it was a project that really meant anything to him. That's just my take on it though.

As for Impala and myself, we aren't there because we are craving for attention or anything like that... We simply have fun making our hack, and by releasing it we'll just share what we did, but we're making it for ourselves in the first place, not for others. However, I don't deny that reading people's anticipation for our hack is also a source of motivation for us.

I'm done ranting, I just typed too much there...

Hmmm... Maybe you should spend more time on your hacks, it looks like you come up with a new one everyday. Mario's new colors look good... (Blue might be too bright though)
From that one screenshot, it just looks like SMB1 with different colors and more enemies.

And I never thought a dark atmosphere really worked with Mario games, unless you just do it for a few levels only... If you changed the graphics (turning Mario into someone else etc), then a dark theme may be more... "credible" ? But then, the happy Mario music wouldn't work anymore, so it may have to be basically left out or something... *shrugs*

Seriously, shut the fuck up. Just act like you don't know me, and stop harrassing me through PMs. And stop saying shit all the time... Moronic kids like you should know their place. You're 10 or something, I'm 21... Not that age really matters, because I certainly wasn't that stupid when I was 10.
Only a retard would compare the time it takes to make a basic SMB1 hack and a complete SMK hack.

That said, now I'll just ignore you. You're nothing else than a virtual nuisance.

Note to others: That kid is here because I banned him from my board and that Acmlm's Board is in my board ring... So he's kinda there "because of me", heh... Not that I am responsible for any of his shit though, of course.

Now, on topic, Shane, I assumed you started this recently because you released a couple of other hacks lately, and also because people told you you "should" make level hacks now... Still, a little advice: favor quality over quantity.

All I know is that I used to have a rank requiring a negative post count (has to be edited manually) for perma-banned people, using AcmlmBoard v1.8... But a negative post rank wouldn't work anymore since v1.92, and fucked all the other ranks.

That probably doesn't help you though.

Heh... Not that ripping graphics is really an "art" or something to be proud of, in my opinion.

The fact you can't manage to use a program doesn't make it worthless. It's quite useful to me. My main grief with it being that it doesn't remember paths or settings.

Try installing Java (JDK/SDK or whatever) if you haven't already done so.

peter_ac: What makes you think what I said was related to anything you said ?
Actually, reading back, I hadn't even noticed you were the one who asked that question before, so I was just posting what I thought of ripping awards, that's all. That wasn't an attack toward you or something you said.

Ice Man: You didn't get my point. I'm not saying you shouldn't use graphics of other games in your hacks or anything like that... I'm only saying I don't think it should be "praised", or deserve awards... That's all. That said, I don't expect my opinion to change anything about the way you guys do your award things.

I don't think ripping requires much skill at all... Those who can't rip properly should have a "I fucking suck at ripping gfx" award, not the other way around.

Looks good... I like the title screen too. Can't you get rid of that big gray block there ?
However, I think big Bowser looks *a little* awkward. Doesn't look bad, but not very much like Bowser. I'm fully aware you can't make him fatter, but something about his head or hair is kind of funny...

If you want me to, I can try my luck at making a SMB1 playable Bowser. Just one frame though, I'm lazy. :p

I don't think there would be much point, as I said... As I don't think you'd be able to view the road any better. Maybe you'd see more sky or something like that... Stretching the Mode 7 road would be bad too, if you know what I mean. Also, the driver sprites have been designed to be in a split screen, so they'd certainly look smaller...
